The following improvements are done:

Can also play media located on web (example mp3 shared over http - no delay - plays instantly) - default two sample stations are added (a) Nation Radio - a streaming internet radio station, (b) Dollars5 sample audio - mp3 located on server streamed instantly unlike Blackberry player which downloads and plays.
2] ID3 tags in playlists
3] Crossfade between songs (beta implementation)

7] UI enhancements for better selection
8] Optimizations for improved performance in background mode and while playing songs
9] Improved shuffle logic for media player
10] Better search logic for files search and UI indications

Okay the links you provided are for a trial version correct? If so how much is for the full product. Seems like a very nice product. Definetly Better than the BB media player, thanks for this software.

Yap, this is the trial version for 1 week. mediaPlayer stand-alone version cost you USD 19.99 and available for purchase from our site here

If you chose to purchase multiPlay Professional suit for USD 27.49 - you get four applications via un-restricted multiPlay v1.1, mediaPlayer v1.5, vNotes v1.0 and txtNotes v1.0. It is available for purchase from our site here

I downloaded OTA, went to run the program and I get Error starting mediaPlayer: Module 'mediaPlayer-3' not found. I've downloaded twice now. I'll try the DM install.

*Edit DM install works

wasnt interested before but now im going to have to try out the trail version.

This is a really great program.

I'm gonna have to try the Podcast streaming out.

Thanks.
You guys rock

We just added support to stream mp3 podcasts - this should be handy to people who listen to podcasta a lot but a spicy on downloading the whole stuff (but you should be missing the fast forward feature as it is streamed)

Test podcasts and if you could get any work -pls do add in here I will update on our site for the detailed list of all working podcasts, also if you have problem with some podcasts streaming - do let us know we can help.

It's a real nice program but I keep getting connection closed. It was working earlier but not anymore. Any help?

EDIT:Never mind, I did a battery pull and it worked.

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~please post when the OTA link is fixed.

so we can stream internet radio? like our local radio stations?

Download the JAD file. Installed fine. After creating a new palylist tried a few Mp3. After playing three files my Pearl restarted. DUMPED the app.

I'l give this a miss thanks

what are the requirments to have this cause when i tried downloading it it stopd i the middle.

Hi, I am very itnerested in this product. Does it use the side volume controls of the 8300? If not, when do you expect to implement it?

The next version will have side volume keys control.

Btw: the OTA is working fine - incase you havfe problems with OTA - feel free to try the Desktop manager install using the ZIP archive.

This program is so close, but still so far:

• Curve Volume keys still not supported.
• When you select to keep video controls on screen and play video fulls screen, video controls are nowhere to be found.
• No way to lower/raise volume when in background (see first bullet, built-in media player uses them)
• Streaming page has no pause, play, volume controls
• etc...

Let me know when 2.0 is out.
